What's BOTHERING YOU today?

[constance312003]

I am sick of political ads and I love politics.  One more day

[Brichmon]

Politics ads slandering one another left and right , waste of money

I know what's bothering me is the same as a lot of people, but I feel the need to say it anyway. The company I have worked for for 8 years is having MAJOR problems, I believe that in a month or two we might be filing for bankruptcy. I haven't recieved a paycheck on time for about 4 months now and things don't seem to be getting any better. I love the company but I can't keep dwindling down our savings because I never know if I'm actually going to get my paycheck or not. I've put in for about 10 jobs and haven't heard back from anyone. I live in a very small town and jobs are scarce. I'm an intelligent person with a college degree so it's not like I'm not qualified. I've tried applying for jobs the next town over but unfortunately, I have an eye disease and am blind at night. With the winter days so short I wouldn't be able to get home by myself so no one wants to hire me. Luckily my husband's job is secure, but we couldn't survive on just his paycheck. I'm scared and really starting to freak out. I don't know what to do.

There are a lot of things that bother me.  The issues go in and out of my head daily.  I am having problems with my family disowning me for something another family member did to me. Along with my mother not believing me at first aswell as her fighting me to get grandmother rights when she has done some bad things to me in my childhood.  Being a new stay at home mom to a awesome babygirl and a wife to an awesome husband.  I am just not used to not working.  I have a disability that is preventing me from working, the condition is getting worse.  I have seen a few doctors regarding it and they are not taking the issue very serious.  I have applied for SSI and got denied because the idiots that approve/disapprove the cases do not read.  I try and work from home but those jobs are hard to come by.  I guess you can not win for loosing.  GRRRR  It is just frustrating.  I am so happy and loving life with my husband and daughter if it wasn't for them I do not know what would be happening.  I am just venting, I am sure others have it just as bad or worse then me.  So I should be happy with what I have.  It is so crazy that money is the root f happiness at times.  Well hope everyone has an awesome day

The Gov't denies 95% of SSI Disability claims the first time, right off the bat.  Don't give up!!  File a redetermination.  If you have to, hire an attorney that specializes in SSI Claims.  If they think you have a good chance of getting it, they will take your case, and will only take a certain percentage (I think 25%) IF your claim gets approved.  Also, the SSI will pay you back pay up to a certain point.  Don't give up, keep filing.  Eventually, your case will land on someone's desk who WILL read it, and get the process going.

It will work out....hang in there.

Hi Sarah, I know the feeling of wondering if your going to get a paycheck from an almost defunct company or not.  Unfortunately, with the economy, everyone is tightening their belt.  I wouldn't want to be job hunting myself in this economy.  I feel especially bad for the families like you.  Thank God your husband has a secure job....more than a lot of people have right now.  You would be surprised how little you could live off of....if you had to.  I live in a rural area also in a resort town.  Many business's are folding, and many people are leaving the area because there's just no work.  Maybe if you got a job in the other town your speaking of, you could car pool with someone just during the dark months.  I've developed a type of night blindness myself which is really irritating because I use to have the best nocturnal eyes...lol 

Don't get scared and freak out.  Things have a way of working out.  You might start thinking about what you could do at home.  Maybe childcare for someone working?  You're already making a little cash online, I know people who take in other peoples laundry and washes, folds, and does some light ironing for $40 a pop.  A lot of working single guys like this service the most.  Cleaning someone else's home is very lucrative money wise.  Something like this could hold you over until you find something you could apply the college degree to.

Thanks Annella, Sometimes it's hard to stay positive but I know there are people worse off than I am. I'll try out one of your suggestions. House cleaning isn't one of my strong points but maybe childcare. I like to think I'm pretty good with my own son so I could do that. Everybody's having a rough time in this economy. I just pray it gets better soon, I don't want Cash (our son) to have to deal with all this too when he gets older.

Yeah, I know it's hard to stay positive, especially when you see it all around you.  I'm praying for you right now.  Your not alone in this.

My computer. It's old and slow, and every time I use it, it puts me in a bad mood.

Give me a minute and there's sure to be something bothering me then, haha!

One of the candidates in my state for Senate... he's so backwards and... just grrr.  I'm irked at the amount of people who are voting for him without knowing this stuff... like the fact that he thinks the US should not be held accountable to the rest of the world, he thinks Medicaid/Medicare/CHIP should be abolished even though he is a friggin doctor who accepts payments from these programs... there is just too much to go on about.  My blood pressure rises when I think that it is highly likely he will be elected and my new Senator by the end of the day!

What is bothering me is being cheated by admin !!!!! The forum admin should not cheat members out of their bonuses !

    I caught my neighbor (the wife) trying to look in my windows again this morning---my cat had been sitting in a window and left the curtains "apart".    She made me so MAD the way she "ducked" her head when she saw me come out the front door!     I am also  SICK & TIRED of trying to be nice to everyone...being nice to "toxic people" is like giving out free "crack" to drug addicts.  Problem is, it's not always easy to tell at first glance who has "problems" and who doesn't.  I never wanted to be a "distant, cold-hearted" person but I can certainly understand how people end up that way!!    Lastly, one of my dear friends has cancer and there's a great chance she won't be around in a few more months.   What's BOTHERING YOU today???

Wow, it's kind of coincidential that you started this thread because I just started one today, called "Who do you feel like punching today, come on let it out." Lol! I guess we're in the same kind of mood.
